  • Mary rhymes with fairy.
  • Merry rhymes with berry.
  • Marry rhymes with carry.

Maybe this is a whoosh on my part, but for people who pronounce all the Mary’s the same, they tend to pronounce all of those words to rhyme as well.

~~So ferry rhymes with fairy?~~

Edit: Is ferry is pronounced the same as fairy?

I meant to ask "Is ferry is pronounced the same as fairy?"

Yeah, I think it's part and parcel with the Mary merry marry merger. It's not just about those 3 words, but those 3 sounds.
